22. Fix for dedicated server intermittently failing to connect to the lobby over slow connections.
23. “Low” shadows option now shows ambient car shadow.
24. Fix for missing Mercedes 300SL external idle sounds.
25. Left Alt + F key manually resets force feedback.
26. Lobby password now gets saved between sessions.

28. Fix for badly mapped spectator cars at Zolder.
29. Fix for lobby lap sorting done alphabetically bug.
30. Automatic startup option (+auto) added to dedicated server.

34. Fix for duplicate screen grabs in replay mode.
35. Fix for best lap times from prac/qual appearing in race statistics.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the quality of the MP experience is very much determined by the connection quality of the clients and server – running high numbers of clients greatly exaggerates any such problems. It is therefore recommended to limit servers to a maximum of 16 clients, unless the connection quality of all players is known to be good (both in terms of bandwidth and stability).
